The new CBA included a clause to boost the salaries of the league's best young players. That clause is called, fittingly, "The Derrick Rose Rule."

The rule calls for players that have completed four years in the league, and who meet specific criteria, to be eligible for the same maximum salary as a player that has been in the NBA for seven years (30% of the salary cap). Rose was eligible due to his 2010-11 MVP award.

But while the rule is named for Rose, he was not the first recipient. That title goes to Kevin Durant, who was eligible as a two-time All-NBA selection.
